The short version

  • Only SurveyMonkey has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Revinate pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.; SurveyMonkey team plans require minimum 3 users as baseline
  • They diverge on capability: Revinate covers Guest profile resolution, SurveyMonkey covers Survey builder.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Revinate

  • Pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
  • Value depends on database size and quality; a hotel with a few thousand contacts and mostly OTA business will not recover the licence cost through email revenue.
  • The platform is sold as several products including marketing, messaging and reservation sales, so the quoted figure often covers less than a buyer assumes and the full stack costs considerably more.
  • Profile resolution quality depends on how the PMS was operated, and a property with poor data capture at check-in gets a cleaner database that is still missing email addresses for most guests.
  • It is hotel-specific, so a group with mixed accommodation including serviced apartments or vacation rentals will find parts of the model and integrations do not fit those units.

SurveyMonkey

  • Team plans require minimum 3 users as baseline
  • Annual response limits enforced: 50,000 responses/year on Team Advantage, 100,000 on Team Premier
  • Additional responses beyond annual limits charged at AED 0.50 per response
  • Enterprise plan requires custom pricing and minimum 5 users
  • Advanced features like multilingual surveys and phone support require Team Premier tier

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Revinate: What does Revinate cost?

It is not published. Expect a per property monthly figure scaled by room count with a minimum, and confirm which products are inside that number.

SurveyMonkey: How much does SurveyMonkey cost?

SurveyMonkey offers team plans starting at AED 99 per user per month for Team Advantage and AED 240 per user per month for Team Premier. Both plans require a minimum of 3 users. Billing can be monthly or annual.

Source
Revinate: Does it replace my email tool?

Yes for guest marketing, because it is built on merged PMS profiles rather than a contact list you upload.

SurveyMonkey: What are SurveyMonkey's overage fees?

SurveyMonkey charges AED 0.50 per additional response on paid plans beyond the annual limit included in each tier.

Source
Revinate: Will it work with a small database?

Poorly. The economics depend on having enough guest records with usable email addresses to generate attributable revenue.

Revinate: Is Ivy included?

Not necessarily. Messaging is priced separately from the marketing platform; confirm in writing.
